Q: how long can i expect to be protected from my 2 doses of the pfizer covid vaccine.. i am not interested in receiving multiple boosters, but i did get the original 2 doses.. will they continue to provide me with protection from severe illness?

: The original shots last 6-8 months, at your age a booster is best. The more antibodies in your body the better protected you are. Every 3-5 months a new variant occurs, so you want to be protected as best you can.
